Control Bionics Limited Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) 30 June 2025
Note 1. Operating Segments
Identification of reportable operating segments
Segment information is based on the information that management uses to make decisions about operating matters and allows users to review operations through the eyes of management. Operating segments represent the information reported to the chief operating decision makers (CODM), being the executive management team, for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance.
The Group has identified operating segments applicable to the sale of assistive communications technology systems within the disability sector. The reported loss for the combined segments within the sector before income tax is $6,108,667 for the year (2024 loss: $5,913,779).
The segment currently has two functioning operations in two geographical locations: Australia and North America, market exploration in alternate geographical locations including Japan, a corporate function in addition to a substantial Research and Development program. This is consistent with the internal reporting provided to the CODM and is aligned to the one major revenue stream.
The CODM reviews EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation). The accounting policies adopted for internal reporting to the CODM are consistent with those adopted in these financial statements.
The information reported to the CODM is on a monthly basis.
Types of products and services
The principal products and/or services of each of the geographical locations within the operating segment are as follows:
Australia (Aust) Sales of systems related units and components in Australia
North America (US) Manufacture and sales of systems units and components in North America
Japan and other Activities undertaken to establish viable and additional operating markets, but not yet determined to markets be a material market segment in their own right.
R&D (R&D) Research activities undertaken in regards to the Group's products.
Corporate The provision of support, regulatory and infrastructure activities, and elimination entries above the EBITDA line.
